> Is a yoga-studio booking tool a good idea?
Great idea! The wellness market is huge and
growing. Studios need better tools. Go for it!

MCP questions

Does it cost anything?

Keys are free. Quick Reads through the server are free like on the site, up to 10 an hour. A Founder Verdict is bought on the website; quick_read returns the checkout link.

Does it work in claude.ai on the web?

Not yet. claude.ai’s web connectors sign in with OAuth, and this server uses API keys. It works today in Claude Code, Claude Desktop (via mcp-remote), Cursor and any client that can send a header.

What can the agent see?

Only your own Quick Reads and Founder Verdicts, through the key you gave it. Revoke the key here and access stops at once.

Are the answers the same as on the site?

Yes. quick_read runs the same research as the website, and get_verdict reads the same Founder Verdict you see on your dashboard, tags and sources included.
